Kuskus Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 It is a good thing that CK could still be the owner if the funds arrive because then this forces the other interested parties to act fast to complete a deal Indy, r_wilcockson, Phuket Ram and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You seem to be clinging to belief that he has sent the money and it’s just being delayed by the various financial crime prevention checks. I now don’t think he’s sent it (hope I’m proved wrong by the way. I’ll take zero pleasure from being proved right). It would be easy for him to prove the money has been sent but I get the impression that he can’t do so. To continue the analogy, I think he set off on the journey but, for one reason or another, he’s decided he doesn’t want to or can’t complete the journey. Rather than be honest and tell the person he is visiting that he’s not coming now he’s messaging them with reasons why he’s been delayed. Personally, I think he's trying to borrow the money to fund it, but the deal in principle hasn't been converted to an actual loan. I don't think Kirchner has the cash himself, but he does have a good history of raising finance to fund his expansion. I believe that his plan is to generate a profit and repay the loans from them. I don't think he fully understands the distorted market that is EFL football. IMO, if he does complete this deal, it will end in disaster.

LeedsCityRam Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 2 hours ago, Mostyn6 said: - why does it matter if CK cannot get further funds into the club after buying it? The club MUST become self sufficient - who expects Derby County (under any owner) to be allowed to go on a spending spree? Wake up ffs! We won’t be allowed to! - anyone stressing needs to log off until at least Monday night! There’s no way Quantuma work weekends! - those of you reacting so childishly to CK’s banking woes are probably giving him good reason to back out of the deal. Well done idiots! You’re helping kill the club! We agree on the need for Derby to be self sufficient & to end the days of big spending (not that it would be possible under the EFL agreed business plan in any case). I think folk are probably more concerned about Kirchner's very noticeable silence this week & the news Stateside about unpaid Slync.io wages & team sponsorship. That does not bode well for his future custodianship of DCFC, if that does end up happening. I think you might be surprised about Quantuma this weekend - a combination of the increasingly terse EFL statements & finding themselves in the eye of a media storm will have shaken them. No one else to blame at this stage. I fully expect they will be fielding enquiries from interested parties this weekend even if any resolution/news wouldn't be announced until a week day As to your final point, I don't know by what mechanism Kirchner could back out the deal & avoid contractual liability if he has exchanged contracts & apparently sent the money.

But…. Like you say it’s not a cheap deal for a league one club so if that is the argument either CK is very naive or very stupid.

FFS, if they really want the club, why aren't they in full and factual face-to-face negotiation with Q, with their proposals, all bleddy weekend? Sure, I know it can be an online conference etc., but Percy makes it sound like Q have popped off a casual email to the would-be bidders. But then Percy chose to condemn Q for dismissing alleged attempts last week for others to liaise with them, which was inflammatory and sensational claptrap - Q would surely have been enforcing CK's exclusivity and adhering to NDA's? Isn't it the case that all these frigging lawyers, CK/Stretford/Crooks & Co, Q's staff, the Team Derby MPs, and the banking & regulatory personnel involved, should have actually discovered and clarified *how or why* CK's funding (if it exists), is jammed in 'the system' somewhere, by now?

That may not suit some narratives Given none of us actually know the facts, I think it's more a question of opinions rather than "suiting some narratives". A rather passive aggressive phrase sometimes used to dismiss someone else's view that may be different to yours.

I assume there has to be a paper trail with these things so the official line to JP is we have now written to them. I think the fact journalists like Percy are starting to provide opinions on Q like (they should never be in football again) is probably finally the kind of pressure that may make them realise their game is up and they need to get this done for real.
